Live £1-£2 cash game. Hero has a stack of £160. Hero raised utg with KcQc to £8. Button called £8. SB folds. BB reraised to £28. Bb had more than £300
BB seems to be a rather loose player. I noticed him making loose calls pre flop. But this is the first time I see him three bet.
Hero called £28 and button folds.
Pot £64, hero has £132.
Flop: KdQdJh
BB lead out £45. Hero?
I put BB rather strong hand preflop. Such as AA, AK, AQ, TT. I feel an A or T on the turn would kill the action. With a SpR of only 2, I feel the BB won’t fold anything that connected to the board.
Hero raised all in to 132.
BB tanked and folded his hand. He later told me he had TT.
Did I made a mistake here? Shall I just flat called his bet?

Play deeper, pre is questionable. Probably not a good flat with your stack size and most know utg opens are strong.
Not much to say post, jam flop is fine. wtf is he doing bombing flop and folding to a jam lol

I normally play deeper but just lost a big pot and was a bit on tilt.

nh. huge mistake by vil to not call off and a nice (uncontested) ev gain for you.
pot 64
vil bet 45
hero jam 132
to call 132-45 = 87
total pot 2x 132 + 64 = 328
eq need 87/328 ~ 0.25
Board: KdQdJh
Equity Win Tie
MP2 36.46% 35.66% 0.81% { TT }
MP3 63.54% 62.73% 0.81% { KcQc }

What hands do you think he calls off on flop that he doesn't either barrel turn or call off on turn? And why?
If there's any chance he's bluffing or he folds, you should just flat here.
Not saying jamming is wrong. Just that when we are in position, it's not that imperative that we jam in this spot.
The only cards that are completely terrible for us is an A, T, or 9d. Any other card (including diamonds) isn't really too bad. Sometimes a J counterfeits us, but still not completely terrible card.

I agree with others, pre is a bit iffy and depends a lot on the player type. If this is always TT+ AK then I think I fold. If the player can be described as loose or 3-betting a lot then its a slam dunk 4-bet, calling is probably the worst option with BTN behind.
Flop is fine, either jam or call IP and gii OTT.

I fold pre to a strong 3bet range. AP I snap ship on this flop.
